Latest Update

As part of our ongoing prayer commitment, a group of us meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7.45 to 8.30 to come before our God, to bow down in His presence, lift our praises to Him and bring prayer requests to the throne of grace.

This week our thoughts have naturally turned to the untimely deaths of the two police officers, Fiona and Nicola.  We pray for their families, friends, colleagues and all who seek to uphold the law.

We give thanks to God for His faithfulness and provision, for answered prayer and continue to intercede for those who have entrusted us with their requests.

We ask you to join us in praying for our young folk, particularly Quest and the soon to be re-launched Kids Alive; for back to church Sunday, for the National Day of Prayer at Wembley next Saturday 29^th September.

Matthew 18:19 – Again I tell you, that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

God bless.

Pray for the Day - 14th September 2012

Our theme for this month is letting go & new beginnings.  We have two prayer areas, one in the “upper room” and one in the corner of our main worship hall.  Both areas are set out in similar ways.  As you enter, you are invited to spend time (on your knees, spiritually and /or physically ) coming into the presence of the blessed Trinity – to “Be still and know that I am God”; to write a prayer or scripture on a heart . Then, when you are ready,  to move onto a prayer station where dirty stones are used to help you let go of things in the past, by symbolically washing a stone & then placing it to build an altar to our holy God.  Written prayers for forgiveness, healing and grace are there to help you. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past”. At the next prayer station there is opportunity to meditate on where you have come from, where God is leading you, what doors He is opening for you, scriptures, prayers for new beginnings, footprints to write on, butterflies to colour in, play dough to mould – all the time conscious that “I know the plans I have for you.....”.  Finally you are invited to “Stand in the gap” and lift the territorial prayers we have received to the throne of grace. A real privilege and blessing.

God bless
